	Fired off my second batch of 100 loads the other day. I'm trying to figure out how this rifle likes to be held; it seems to like firm fore end and butt pressure with the grip held lightly, no thumb. It does have the 3 1/2 " fore arm but the butt is semi-sporter. The two best loadings were 11.6 of 296 under the Hoch 210 gr spire point at 1330 fps, and 11.6 of 4227 at 1360. A .02" floral foam wad was seated at the mouth and the powder shaken to the back before loading. Lube was 60/40 LLA/Johnsons liquid floor wax, sparingly applied and dried overnight. Absolutely no leading, and it left a mild lube star. Still lacking the proper powders but the 10-round groups are beginning to look promising. I'll slowly boost the powder charges up to around 1450 fps. Will also try Darr lube dipped.

	A couple of things first orient your powder toward the mouth of the case not the base. I know this sounds counter intuitive but this method works. Second the photo of the muzzle there is a lube star but it looks very heavy on one side and light on the other this barrel may have to be recrowned. 40 Rod
